What people love about touring Santorini solo
- Best of Greece: Blue Domes, Ancient Ruins & Sea Views
The customer service was excellent. I didn't realise that Wanderful Holidays would be checking us in for ferry crossings, internal flights, tours etc. Taking this off our hands was a lovely added bonus. All transfers happened very smoothly. One of our tours was cancelled at very short notice and Wanderful Holidays managed to book us on another identical tour. When the operator charged us for entrance fees (which were included in the cancelled tour) Wanderful Holidays refunded us the costs within 24 hours. Our accommodation in Mykonos was outstanding. i have removed 1 star because the accommodation in Athens, in my opinion, was more suited to business travel than holiday travel and the location could have been better. In saying that the accommodation was clean and breakfast included. Accommodation in Santorini - this is a tough one to review. This is a family run, traditional Greek hotel and the rooms are in need of an update. However ,the hospitality shown by the host is second to none. George and his family are amazing hosts. The location is a long way from Fira or Oia BUT Kamari is lovely and on the beach. I agree with a previous review that an extra day in Athens and at least one extra day in Santorini (due to the location of the hotel) would be better. Overall I would recommend Wanderful Holidays and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
- Athens, Mykonos & Santorini Tour | 09 Days
Excellent service! I traveled solo and felt supported every step of the way. The itinerary allowed me to see so much without feeling rushed. My favorite memory was the sunset in Oia – unforgettable. I’ll definitely book with Travel Zone again.

What our customers ask about Santorini Tours for Solo Travelers
What group sizes can solo travelers expect on Santorini guided tours?
Tours in Santorini keep their numbers small making it easy to meet other travelers. Most tours have 8-16 people on walking tours through Oia and Fira while sunset boat trips usually have 12-15 guests. This setup lets everyone get to know each other and receive good attention from the guide. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The small group size made it easy to get to know everyone and our guide could give us individual attention."
What dining arrangements are typically made for solo travelers?
Tours include shared meals at local tavernas in Fira and Oia where you can try Greek dishes and local wines with your group. When you have free evenings guides point you to restaurants near places like El Greco Resort that welcome single diners. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The group meals were a highlight - no awkward solo dining and great opportunities to bond with others while trying local dishes."
Which areas of Santorini are most recommended for solo travelers' safety and convenience?
The capital city Fira serves as an ideal base for solo travelers. It has good bus connections shops and plenty of organized activities. The neighborhood near El Greco Resort and the Archaeological Museum feels safe with good lighting at night. Oia works well too with its popular sunset spots and many cafes. According to a TourRadar review: "Fira was perfect as a solo base - everything was walkable and I felt completely safe exploring even in the evenings."
What transportation options are available for solo travelers during free time?
Getting around Santorini is straightforward. The public bus system connects all major spots like Fira Oia and Perissa. Many places to stay including Hotel Kamari offer their own shuttle service. You can also join shared rides to popular sunset viewing locations. According to reviews: "The public transportation was excellent - I felt completely comfortable exploring the island independently during free time."
What social opportunities are available for solo travelers on Santorini Islands tours?
You'll find many chances to meet people through group activities. These include boat trips to Nea Kameni volcano cooking classes in local villages and walks through Oia's white-washed streets. El Greco Resort in Fira works well as a meeting point while shared dinners with wine tasting help everyone connect. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "The group activities were fantastic for meeting people - especially the sunset cruise where we all bonded over amazing views and local wine."
What is the typical single supplement cost for Santorini accommodations?
Extra costs for single rooms in Santorini usually run between 200-400 USD. This changes based on when you visit and what type of hotel you choose. Places like Mar N Mar Crown Hotel or Hotel Kamari have rooms designed for one person. Some tour companies can match you with another solo traveler to share a room and skip the extra cost. As reviewed by a TourRadar traveler: "The hotel arrangements were perfect for solo travelers - I opted to share and was paired with another solo traveler which worked out great."
